PROFILE

ON HER RELATIONSHIP TO THE LGBT COMMUNITY.

In a word: involved. For a long time I wasn’t involved; even though I was in a relationship with a woman, we were relatively isolated— the odd ones out amongst our straight friends. It wasn’t until we separated that I found my community and ‘came out.fiIm very fortunate to have an incredibly strong and supportive queer community in London. They give me so much strength love and support, I don’t know what the hell I did before I found them!
